Thoughts on the second, third, and fourth days of presentations
Second Day
First Presentation (Matt):
Nearly perfect presentation with an extremely interesting tool found in the Terminal. Matt definitely knows his stuff and the way he presented it and blogged it is very professional. My jaw literally dropped when he started controlling a computer from a different computer, and his live demonstration was amazing. The only suggestion I have is to explain a bit more how specific commands actually help you. For example, "cd" command helps you navigate but I wasn't immediately sure why I would want to navigate using the Terminal at first. An analogy would help here; Matt could say the cd command is a door in between rooms, with each room being a different part of a hard drive (or something along those lines, Matt probably has a better way to put it). His tutorial blog is helpful and professional enough that it should be taught in programming courses. Amazing presentation overall.
10/10
Second Presentation (Aaron):
Aaron has a nice website on his hands already. His videos and images have been organized into a neat collection and I was impressed with the way he planned the layout for his project. I was a bit confused about the randomizer feature though; I was not immediately sure how this was helpful for someone that browses his website. However, I did enjoy seeing how a basic website can catalog your work and look forward to seeing his future digital arts work posted on his website as he continues to work on it. Some aspects of the website were very difficult to read, but I'm sure the final outcome will be admirable nonetheless.
8.5/10
Third Presentation (Diego):
Though we had to see his video in fragmented clips due to technical problems, Diego made a hilarious and important collection of video segments that effectively show how exponential the growth of technology has been. I have to find his video on youtube again and favorite it; it was very very good.
9/10
Fourth Presentation (Kevina):
I probably visit YouTube every day and never realize how advanced the medium truly is. Kevina made me realize just that. The power of user generated content and video streaming is remarkable and the videos she showed were fascinating, especially the birthday video for her friend. Her website uses several tools that we learned about in class (GIMP and freesound). Great great job.

Third Day
First Presentation (Wayne):
Really liked the CVS video. Combining real life images or video with unique music was thought-provoking. Mixed media can truly mesmerize if done the right way. Thinking about it, it must have taken quite some time and effort to make those videos. The problem was that I was pretty confused about the topic in general. The lecture was fairly difficult to follow (at least for me), and I couldn't quite pinpoint what Wayne had chosen as his project in the end.
8/10
Second Presentation (Nate):
Nate's video was pretty awesome. It shows attention to detail and the application he used will help several people with their own projects or just for their own curiosity. The music and the action in the video was choreographed very well, and I can definitely see he took his project seriously. Great presentation overall.
9.5/10
Third Presentation (Tiva)
Perhaps the most original presentation yet, Tiva showed a glimpse of a whole different culture. The idea of a synthetic artist is truly amazing, and her knowledge and love for the matter seemed apparent throughout the presentation. The demonstration with the short song using the vocal program was very impressive. Looking forward to the final presentation.
9.5/10
Fourth Presentation (Nicola):
Nicola maintained the trend of great presentations today. Charming video introducing the new Education students to the Little Hall. Lots of work went into this presentation.
9.5/10
Fifth Presentation (Teresa):
Amazing website! The style and layout was perfect. Visiting it I could see how intensive all the work was and how well organized everything was. I was trying to find faults with this presentation, but I honestly couldn't. A great example of what a great website should look like.
9.5/10
Sixth Presentation (Chris):
Creating a blog is easy. Creating your own website is substantially more difficult. Chris' project is useful to someone like me that has no idea how to start a website, but hopes to eventually create one. The only problem with his project was that it has potential for the final presentation, but it was very bare-bones as a midterm presentation. Other classmates have already created full websites and showcased advanced stuff for the midterm, even if it is just a work in progress until the final. Chris showed a starting blog and the skeleton for his future website. Looking forward to seeing his final website and tutorial.
8.5/10
Seventh Presentation (Erin):
Tumblr seems like a great blogging website and I might consider using it for future blogs. The presentation was unique in the sense that I had never considered how intensely text helps convey messages in videos. A few technical problems with (yet again) YouTube videos not loading. Focusing on one style of font that you believe represents the true potential of this idea, or even creating your own font video would make your final presentation perfect.
9/10
Eight Presentation (David)
It's a shame you had to rush your presentation. Your work with the music program for your kids is amazing and the blog is a great way to stay connected after they finish your program. You presented extremely well, even with the short amount of time. Hope to see more of this in your final presentation.

Fourth Day
First Presentation
Very interesting website, I'll have to take a look at that service. I wish you had expanded a bit more about how you created it and any advice you have for people creating their own website. You kept the presentation very short (maybe a bit too short), but the website was impressive nonetheless.
9/10
Second Presentation (Collins):
Audio problems were a shame, considering it sounded like an awesome Mario Kart tune. There was a lot of information about how you were creating a snowman, but I wish you had spent a bit more time on the final product so that all the explanation could be justified. I see the potential for an awesome final project and just hope that we can see your talent organized a bit better. Great job overall, though.
